Comics in the Age of Covid

Comics in the Age of Covid

At the end of March, the comic industry did something unprecedented in its history – for nearly a month and a half, it shut down. Lots of factors went into this decision, including distributor shut-downs, publisher delays, and a host of other issues all related to the global pandemic. By the time comics began returning to the shelves, a cascade of changes had been set off within the industry, affecting delivery times and ordering schedules for pretty much every comic book publisher out there. Now, a few months down the line, we think it’s a good time to talk about what’s changed inside the industry, and how that’s affected comic book retailers and consumers.
